I gotta ad this:

That's one helluva menacing riff!

I want to see a scene from a movie where this guy walks down some dingy stairs, into a cramped foyer, straightens his tie, and then emerges onto a busy city sidewalk. Then...

That's as far as I've imagined, but that riff is playing the whole time.

I was totally drawn into the story, and then got my brain sucked out with "That's as far as I've imagined". My mindless body is now wandering around with no purpose! It's been a decade

emerges onto a busy city sidewalk. Then...

... we see his silhouette from behind framed by the open door. The sun is blindingly bright. He looks to his left, then turns right and walks out of view. The windowless door closes and the foyer is swallowed by darkness again. The music continues. Outside we see a flyer posted to a utility pole: Learn to Play Guitar in 4 Days. The printing is faded, and the paper has yellowed. There are eight tabs at the bottom, each with the same phone number. None of the tabs has been torn off. A male voice mutters, "I don't have that kind of time." It's the guy. He walks past the utility pole. He's thin, with narrow shoulders, wearing a gray sport coat that is two sizes too small. He walks straight, with determination, but no apparent urgency. Ahead there is a column of smoke coming from six-story brick building. The guy walks directly toward the burning building showing no sign of curiosity or surprise – as though he's just going to a corner store for a loaf of bread. The music continues.

I want to ask ChatGPT what happens next, but right now it can't seem to verify that I am human.

Oh yeah, my stars are finally realigning! Like playing a country record backwards, it's just all coming back to me. Not sure what ChatGPT is (I will check), but there was no "superhuman" verification, they will have to fix that.

It's your story so I shouldn't interject but just before he gets to the basement dive bar there is a crazy Dennis Hopper looking character saying "You KNOW he's going in there, you just KNOW it!!"

Anyway, my day has been made, that was cool

I was going through the On This Day thread when I saw this. Miss him.

The song has that sexy/scary feel that can be creepy – yet it's not. It's kind of woke; an invitation asking for consent. Just stay the fuck away from my wife, John.
